Raila Odinga only Needs 6% of Mt Kenya Votes to Enter State House, Jeremiah Kioni

Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has assured Azimio la Umoja Alliance that their presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga will secure the country's top seat in the August 9, General Elections. 

Speaking on Sunday, March 20, Kioni said the former premier only needed 6% of the Mt Kenya region votes to win the presidency.

"Let me tell you this, this thing is over. Raila Odinga, in 2007 got 44% of Kenyan votes, in 2013 he also got 44% and again in 2017, he got 44%. Now he only needs 6+1% to enter State House," said Kioni.

The Ndaragwa MP declared victory for the coalition, based on the fact that Odinga's popularity in Central Kenya is rising. 

He claimed that already 10% of the region votes are in Azimio's basket, adding that a simple summation gives Odinga victory over his rival, Deputy President and United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party presidential candidate William Ruto. 

A number of recent polls have been showing Raila's popularity in the Mt Kenya region is rising as the 2022 General Elections draw near.

In January 2022, the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU-K) Secretary general Francis Atwoli said that Raila will be ahead of Ruto in the region, based on reliable surveys.

However, Ruto and his camp are determined to win the August 9, polls, dismissing claims that Odinga is leading in opinion polls.
